Key Features

• High-Performance Sandvik Steel: The 12 cm blade is forged from Sandvik 12C27 modified stainless steel. With an optimised carbon content of at least 0.40%, it provides a superior cutting edge that is both razor-sharp and easy to re-sharpen.

• Corrosion Resistance: The addition of chrome to the steel composition ensures exceptional resistance to rust and corrosion, meaning the saw requires minimal maintenance even after exposure to damp or humid conditions.

• Virobloc Safety System: Equipped with the patented Virobloc safety ring, this saw allows you to securely lock the blade in the open position for safe, high-torque cutting, or in the closed position for secure, worry-free carry.

• Ergonomic Beech Handle: Crafted from durable, high-quality beech wood, the handle provides a comfortable, secure grip that feels natural in the hand, allowing you to maximise control and reduce fatigue during longer tasks.

Pro Tip for Tool Maintenance: To maintain the pristine condition of your N°12 Saw, always ensure the blade is clean and completely dry before folding it into the handle. Since the handle is crafted from natural beech wood, it is best to avoid storing the tool in extremely damp environments to prevent the wood from swelling. Regularly wiping the blade with a drop of protective oil will keep the hinge mechanism smooth and ensure your saw remains ready for your next outdoor adventure!
